Question

what is azure service bus? Does it have the same functionality as that of a normal computer bus ? Is Azure service bus is used for data transfer or does it have some other functionality?

Answer 1

Microsoft Azure Service Bus is a fully managed enterprise integration message broker. 

Service Bus can decouple applications and services. 

Service Bus offers a reliable and secure platform for asynchronous transfer of data and state.

Data is transferred between different applications and services using messages. A message is in binary format and can contain JSON, XML, or just text.
